Parents need to know that Foyle's War is a drama set in England during World War II that was made as part of PBS's long-running Masterpiece Mystery series. The series' main character, Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle, is unassuming, steadfast, and morally upright and solves cases related to the war. Expect to see sudden violence (bombings, shootings, on-screen deaths) and evidence of war's devastation. Some blood is shown; most violence takes place offscreen but may be described graphically. The show's action does take place off the battlefield, however. Scenes take place in pubs, where characters drink liquor and beer. Characters smoke cigarettes on-screen. Mild cursing: "I'll be damned."

Season 8 Episode 3:

Season 8 Episode 2:

When a young student is badly assaulted, Foyle wonders if the attack is racially motivated as the young man was the son of a wealthy and high profile Jewish businessman. Sam is determined to help a young boy in Adam's constituency.
